Greetings to all our readers!
It's our 8th birthday this month - a big
'thank you' to all our readers for
your support and custom over the years. We
really appreciate your supportive comments
& suggestions for improvements to our
service - please keep 'em
coming!
This month, we are offering some small tokens
of gratitude in recognition of your support -
a total of 24
attractive silk purses. They come in various
sizes, and all aid the Tibetan Childrens'
Foundation - so they are very 'of the moment'...
Every customer
booking a treatment on 8th May (our actual
birthday) can choose a silk purse, until
they're all gone. Simply wish us a
'Happy Birthday' when you make your booking
on 8th May, and we'll keep a purse aside for
you when you drop by or come for your treatment.
We hope you have a great month!
Best wishes from Paul, Bekki, Tina,
Rosie & Joel and all the Equilibrium team.

Osteoarthritis Reduced Naturally by Pine
Bark
Results of a study are being published
revealing that Pine bark extract is effective
at controlling osteoarthritis. The study
featured in the April edition of the Phytotherapy
Research Journal and details how bark from
the French maritime pine tree, made into an
extract, was able to lower the extent of
symptoms associated with osteoarthritis by 56
percent.
What was even more interesting was that the
patients were able to take significantly less
conventional pain relief medication - and so
reduce the extent of gastrointestinal
complications ( the usual side effect
from them) by 63 percent.

Do Vitamins Really Shorten Your Life?
Major British newspapers as well as the
BBC published stories last month saying:
"Killer pills?", "Vitamins 'may shorten your
life", "Vitamin pills increase risk of early
death", and other emotive headlines.
However, the report in question - the
Cochrane Review - is a re-release of the same
report that was released late in 2007 and
which got discredited. The new release is a
slightly new blend of the same report. Out of
648 studies that could have been compiled to
establish vitamin effectiveness, the study
authors included only 67.

| Do you suffer from asthma? |
|
|
Take control of your asthma.
Safely
reduce your reliance on medication.
Stop asthma
controlling your life with the Buteyko
Method.
Many people are genetically predisposed to
asthma but only when they over-breathe do
they develop the symptoms of asthma.
Hyperventilation is not a result of asthma
but, Professor Buteyko claimed, is the cause
of asthma. Modern medicine treats the
symptoms rather than the cause in trying to
manage it.
Enrol for this 5 session course and discover:
*Buteyko Breathing Clinic Method with
extensive practice and correction of
breathing over five 90 minute sessions
*How to overcome an asthma attack
*Exercise and sports with asthma
*Correct posture & sleeping
*Dietary guidelines for asthma
*All aspects of asthma management are
addressed during the training
*Training manual and text book "Carbon
Dioxide Syndrome"
*Email and telephone support for 12 months
*A maximum of 10 people to a workshop to
ensure that each person receives individual
tuition
*30 day money-back guarantee if not satisfied
with results!

Celebrate our 8th Birthday with a Free Silk Purse! |
|
|
|
It's our birthday this month, so we're
celebrating by offering you a gorgeous free
gift - a colourful silk
purse. We have 24 to give away (3 for each year
our Complementary
Health Centre has been open). They come in
various colours, shapes and
sizes, so please choose the one you prefer. A
donation was made to the Tibetan
Childrens'
Foundation for each one purchased - so it's a
very topical gift for the month in which the
Olympic torch heads for Tibet and the
Dalai Lama comes to England...
How to obtain your birthday gift? Simply
make a booking on Thursday 8th May (our
birthday) for any treatment or course or
workshop and wish us a Happy Birthday!
And congratulations to Georgie Birkett,
plucked from the hatful of correct answers to
last month's competition (the answer was 16).
Georgie's prize:
10% discount on every treatment
for a whole year!
Georgie's free membership also
provides:
Priority booking on all courses
Advance
notification of special events
Discounts on
books, candles, Yoga & Pilates mats, massage
wax &
aromatherapy oils + other healthy products.
If you didn't win on this occasion, you can still
obtain a whole year's membership for just £20
- just call our reception on 01273 470955.
You could save much more than this, even if
you have just one treatment every couple of
months...
Watch this space next month for another
prize competition - you could be a winner!
